Our Heritage
The Altamesa Church of Christ is an heir of the American Restoration Movement, a revival that swept over pioneer America in the early 1800's. Since 1976 this church has met in its present location. We also meet in one another's homes regularly for prayer and fellowship.
We want to follow the steps of Jesus. We're also committed to restoring the incredible faith and power that characterized first century Christianity. When we read in the Bible about the unity of those early followers of Jesus, we're encouraged to imitate their love for people and The Lord. That's why we say we're "reaching up to God and out to people."
Jesus' life, death, and resurrection are central to the community of faith. Accordingly, we observe the Lord's Supper each Sunday, and all Christians are invited to commemorate God's grace in Jesus Christ.
Our worship in the Sunday morning assemblies features a cappella (literally, "in the style of the chapel") singing through which everyone can glorify The Lord.
We believe salvation is God's gracious gift, accepted through penitent faith and immersion baptism. As a member in Christ's church, each Christian lives out their life according to God's will. If you have never been baptized, you have the opportunity to be joined with Christ this morning.
If you'd like to study the Bible, any one of our members is happy to help you and/or introduce you to someone who can serve. If you wish to place membership with this church family you'll also have the opportunity to do that today. You can meet the ministers of the church following the assembly, in the foyer.
Anyone seeking prayer is also welcomed. Simply come forward at the appropriate time in the assembly, or seek out one of our Shepherds (they'll be near an exit door or in your aisle during the song following today's message). Your request can be made public to everyone, or it can be kept private. We'll be sensitive to you and your needs.
Welcome to the Altamesa Church of Christ.
